This is the first version of the Non-Profit Institutions Survey.
The Non-Profit Institutions Survey (NPI) was carried out in 2009 by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS). The objective of the NPI was to collect data relating to activities of Non-Profit Institutions in Uganda. The survey covered five regions in Uganda namely: Central, South Central, East, West. UBOS volunteered to collect the NPI data and also provided financial and technical support.
In this case, the Non-Profit Institutions (NPI) refers to all legal or social entities created for the purpose of producing goods and services whose status does not permit them to be a source of income, profit, or other financial gain for the units that establish, control or finance them. In practice their productive activities are bound to generate either surpluses or deficits but any surpluses they happen to make cannot be appropriated by any other institutional units. The basis for defining NPIs focuses on the common characteristic that they do not distribute their profits.

In each district a team of people was selected - one supervisor for the district, controllers (one controller per 5-6 interviewers) and interviewers (whose number depended on the number of clusters in the region). For conducting the fieldwork, 10 teams were established - each was composed of three to four people, two interviewers (health workers), one laboratory technician and one driver. The NPI Coordinator provided overall supervision.
Data processing
The data were entered in 5 computers using the specially prepared software in Access. The data were entered in the regional offices of the UBOS, with 10 staff trained prior to data processing. In order to ensure quality control, the software was programmed to check the internal consistency of data entered. Procedures and standard programs developed under NPI. The Stata 10 statistical package was used for data tabulation and analysis.
Data appraisal
To estimate the standard errors for NPI indicators we used the estimation of variance for the proportion given in the formula:
Vp'= Def*p (1-p)/(n-1), where:
p - proportion for the variance estimate,
n - sample size, and
Def - effect of sample planning for the observed group of indicators.
The standard error is the square root of Var xd'.
